Lectures For The Times - John Cumming - Bog

Lectures For The Times: Or An Exposition Of Tridentine And Tractarian Popery is a book written by John Cumming and published in 1860. The book is a collection of lectures that aim to expose the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, specifically those of the Council of Trent and the Oxford Movement, also known as Tractarianism. Cumming, a Scottish Presbyterian minister, argues that the teachings of these movements are contrary to the Protestant faith and that they pose a threat to the liberties of the British people. He examines the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, including the doctrine of transubstantiation, the veneration of saints and relics, and the authority of the Pope. The book also addresses the influence of the Oxford Movement on the Church of England, which Cumming sees as a dangerous attempt to reintroduce Catholicism into the Anglican Church. He argues that such attempts undermine the principles of the Reformation and threaten the religious freedom of the British people. Overall, Lectures For The Times is a polemic against the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and the Oxford Movement, written from a Protestant perspective. It provides a historical and theological analysis of these movements and their impact on British society and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
